The Rancho Feeding Corp., based in Petulama, Calif., recalled nearly 9 million pounds of meat Friday, according to a news release from the USDA.

The USDA announced that the company was recalling the meat because Rancho Feeding Corp. had “processed diseased and unsound animals and carried out these activities without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspections,” the release stated.

Nestlé then recalled a limited amount of Hot Pockets products after discovering some of the meat involved in the Rancho Feeding Corp. recall was used at a Chatsworth facility that makes Hot Pockets.

Customers who purchased the Hot Pockets should not consume them, but instead should return them to the store for a full refund or contact Nestlé Consumer Services at 800-392-4057.

No illnesses have been reported in relation to the Rancho Feeding Corporation recall, according to the USDA.
